Sight Word Homework

Sight Word homework has started this week. There are only two brief homework activities for each night. If your child would like more practice each night you can most certainly keep working on them by playing games (make sets of cards and play memory),play detective type games where you lay all the cards up and then give clues, and much more. Sight Word homework, while brief, should be practiced each night rather than doing it all one night and returning on Friday. The students need to develop automaticity and daily/nightly practice is very beneficial.

This homework is also short in length as they will begin Math homework tomorrow night as well. Then in the coming weeks I will also add on reading homework and spelling homework. As always, reading with your child nightly should happen anyway!

You don't need to bring in the sight word homework packet each day. However, if you want to keep it in the folder so you have a spot for it each night that is fine. I won't collect it until Friday.

Feel free to email me with any specific questions. There will only be five words per week and I will assess the students on their sight word recognition throughout the year.
